Classic Poem

That I should have a joyous life
In this old world below,
Amid the turmoil and the strife,
Is a gift of God, I know.

He shows His love each day to me
Through countless blessings here—
A happy home and family,
And friends so kind and dear;

A peace that deep within me lives,
As through my daily tasks I go.
The joy that only Jesus gives
Makes life worth living here below!
